Make it a habit to dig deeper and find more information about the issue before starting to debug a non-trivial issue. For example: is this a new problem? If so, starting when? Is this only visible to ...

The title “analog debugging” seems a bit enigmatic. After reading it, an embedded firmware developer may suffer from cognitive dissonance; but trust me, it will make sense later. What the title ...

AI-assisted signal debugging has broad impact across many domains.

Debug consumes more time than any other aspect of the chip design and verification process, and it adds uncertainty and risk to semiconductor development because there are always lingering questions ...

The past few months, I've covered a number of automated testing systems available to Ruby programmers in general and Rails developers in particular. Automated testing, especially when you use it ...

With the increasing complexity in design in the semiconductor industry and advanced lower technology nodes, it is important as a DFT architecture design and service engineer to signoff the chip with ...

Embedded system platforms typically contain at least one processing element such as a microprocessor or digital signal processor along with peripherals, random logic, and memory and interface modules.

Scan is a structured test approach in which the overall function of an integrated circuit (IC) is broken into smaller structures and tested individually. Every state element (D flip-flop or latch) is ...
